A Dedicated Travel
Food Post….

Ok, with so many people wanting to know what I’ve been eating so far on this trip and with so many variations across countries, I thought I would just make a dedicated travel food post just for food! So here are some dishes I’ve tried so far along my travel route. Most were very good, others, not so much…

First Paella dish in Granada, Spain. This fed about twenty people that night.

I have finally found what we lack in the States… An exclusive Pringles machine!!!

Ah yes, the Cuarto De Libra Con Queso… the ole Clasico number 3 on the menu in Spain. I’m lovin it!

Ok so I actually didn’t want to eat at McDonalds while traveling but sometimes you have almost no choice… like being stuck in an airport from 11pm until 7am and McDonalds is literally the only thing open! Its usually fun to see the differences on the menu anyway so even if I don’t eat there (since I would rather eat the local food) its still fun to go in to see how the menu differs country to country.

The NahNahBar in Lagos, Portugal. Definitely in my top 3 for best burger joints of all time!

The NahNahBah is actually rated in the top 50 restaurants in the world for their burgers. I would agree with that statement. I ate here twice while in Lagos and felt no shame for not having a more authentic Portuguese dish. This place was amazing. Below is just one of the many types of burgers you can order…

The NahNahBar Burger

Another Paella dish while in Tarifa, Spain but this was the best I’d had while there and was all fresh seafood.

Some Tapas in Tarifa… One with beef coated in a type of tomato sauce and the other, couscous with vegetables

Lunch in Tanger, Morocco. Consisted of couscous, chicken, raisins, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables.

Authentic mint tea in Morocco. One word… delicious. (Even though it doesn’t look like it would be!)

Some more Tapas in Spain. Everything from octupus with vegetables to chopped ribs and Spanish meatballs. Went with the waiters recommendations that night…

A chicken Kabob dish in Istanbul, Turkey.

Turkish pizza… It tastes nothing like you would think it would…

Cuttlefish risotto, the Adriatic catch of the day and a bowl of tators in Split, Croatia

The restaurant where I had at this risotto shown above was quite an experience. The place was so popular that they would just sit you at a table with other random people. It worked out well though because my friend and I met a few other travelers while eating there at the table that night that ended up going out with us later on.

Some squids in Zagreb, Croatia. Some boiled, some fried.

Also in Zagreb, a white fish with a type of corn meal side dish

Stay tuned, more authentic dishes to come….
